states trade sees great opportunity declares president's ideas will be followed orient as world's market place new york july 16 charles r crane of Chicago the newly selected minister to china who is staying at the century club here issued a formal statement to-night re garding his acceptance of the post which he says he regards as of exceptional im portance because of tlie present commercial opportunities in the far east one of the principal aims of my incum bency says mr crane will be the aid ing of american enterprise to secure and maintain an adequate foothold in a country which promises to be the richest market of the world my reasons for accepting the tekin post are not the result of hasty action but spring from ideas and opinions which have been formulating for years vithout meaning to detract from other diplomatic positions i have long considered the pekin post of unusual perhaps predominating importance to our nation i may say that highly complimented as i would be hy any opportunity to serve my country in an honorable capacity i would not have accepted any other position in dhe govern ment indeed i njjiuld have hesitated to ac cept this position uuder different circum stances but that fact that president Taft is personally familiar with the issues of the eastern question and that this knowl edge probably will assure a progressive and enlightened american policy in china and further that the representatives of our government thtre will have sympathetic co operation at washington makes me will ing to undertake a responsibility which otherwise might seem too onerous secre tary knox's attitude toward china as al ready indicated by his energy iu promoting american interests there also encourages me in sympathy with chinese reform in my oplniou china is now the focus of the world's greatest international prob lem nnd x r'eg'ard the interest of the united states iu this problem as fundamental i can think of no foreign nation in whose progress prosperity and security the united states has greater interest i have a strong sympathy with china's efforts at reform which now seem assured of eventual success the united states should and will aid china in her aspira tions to fake her proper place among mod ern nations and it will be my effort to carry out the policy as admirably stated in president taft's speech at shanghai in 1907 when he outlined the relation of our nation to the open door doctrine in my opinion while an american policy in china must he fouoded ns presi dent Taft then stated upon the broad platform of real international equity and mutual self-respect and will turn upon } political issues it's greater interest to most araericaus lies in the commercial oppor tunity which trade with china presents the great industrial expansion upon which china is iust entering opens tin immense held for american enterprise and our government should aid in securing and maintaining a foothold there if during my incumbency at tekln 1 can contribute to improving the relations of america and china nnd to cementing the community of interests which binds the two nations together 1 shall feel sat isfied eulogy from Taft washington july is the president to-day iu appointing charles 11 crane vice president of the crane company as min ister to china praised mr crane without reserve referring to him as one of

significance much more interested were the memoers of the association of â€¢ commerce wno look upon the Chicago it's selection as a distinct triumph ior commercial Chicago the appointment of mr crane is ac credited to william kent who set before the president the chicagoan s essential qualifications for the place namely his long experience i business his wide learn ing his interest in russia and the orient and his wealth he is expected to have great influence in opening up china to american enterprises and his trieuds here have hopes that his post will be raised to an embassy before his term expires mr crane was bom in Chicago and is completing his fifty-first year he was educated here both in the schools and in business he entered the establishment of his father li t crauc as soon as he

contracts because of irregularities it is charged appointment of a receiver for john mc gillen & co local agent for the united surety company of maryland yesterday followed the filing in court of charges of gross irregularities in handling of funds paid by customers of the company as pre miums on bonds ia two separate bills filed by joseph hanreddy and oswald ll n nek e former as sociates of mcgillen's in the company which bears bis name it is charged that the city has been given practically no protection on certain bond3 guaranteeing big contracts probably the most serious of the charges concerned the bond of williaa t new man the holder of a contract for wrecking the old city hall it was charged that mcgillen accepted 900 in premiums on bonds amounting to jj323.975 from newman to secure the performance of this contract but that no part of the premium was turned over to the surety company and that the boud does uot appear on the com pany's auntt-.l statement issued in decem ber 1008 the premium according to the charges was paid four months previous to the publication of this statement of the surety company's liabilities another secret is cited xewman is declared to have paid d-lo for another bond to guarantee a city contract but it is said that this bond also was kept as one of mcgillen's secret affairs the premium it was charged was not turned over to the surety company for more than a year and a half after an investigation had been made meanwhile it is charged the compauy had not reissued the bond as is customary in snch cases the case was called before judge man gan sitting in judge honores court yes terday afternoon and the appointment of thomas mcgelre as receiver followed a long series of arguments in the course of this argument attor neys brady barnum and rutledge who with francis _Â£.. hiuekle.t arf prosecuting the suit of hanreddy and huncke inti mated that efforts might be taken to have the united surely company of maryland stricken off of the list of bonding com panies whose bonds will be accepted by local courts the lawyers declared that the investigation which had disclosed the irregularities they named iu mcgillen's case might be general and that they showed at least lax inethodsmn the part of the company â„¢ it was declared by attorney hinckley that these proceedings would be justified because of mcgillen's failure to notify the home office of bonds executed by the local office and because of the failure of the home office to list bonds executed by the Chicago office ousts partners thr.y charge among other ibiugs mcgillen was charged with taking possession of the offices in the borland block changing the combination on the safe and changing the lock on the door thus preventing his part ners front entering the offices mcgillen however strenuously denied all of the charges the receivership was brought about after i had agreed to it and after the surety company had investigated all of these charges and made ine its sole agent for Illinois said mcgillen last evening the whole trouble is that these men arc seeking revenge a peculiar feature of their charges is that they accuse themselves huncko as bookkeeper was the man who should have reported ou all bonds to the company and transferred the premiums when he charges that this was not done he accuses himself alone however even his asser tions iu this respect are not true 148 warships in thames britain display avnl rower to allay fear of invasion london england july 16 one hun dred and forty-eight british warships dropped anchor in the thames to-night the

congressmen mr young of michigan op posed free ore mr mondell opposed free coal of reci procity with canada and free hides each on the ground that the policy would injure the interests in his state and a discussion was participated in by other representatives who urged that the doctrine of free raw materials was not a republican doctrine the president replied that he was not committed lo the principle of free raw material but that he was committed to the principle of a downward revision of the tariff which he had promised and that he was obliged to look at the matter not from the stand point of any particular dis trict but from the standpoint of the whole country and also from the standpoint ot responsibility for the entire republican party quotes from the republican platform he said the question in each case was a question of fact to be de termined by evidence as to whether the present duty was needed for protection or whether the rate was excessive so that a downward re vision or putting the article on the free list would not injure the in dustry he quoted the platform of the republican party and said that he had always understood that it meant a downward revision in many in stances though perhaps in some few instances an increase might be needed that he reached this construction of the platform on what he understood to be the principle of protection and its justification namely that after an industry was protected by a duty equal to the difference between the cost of production abroad and the cost of production in this country including a fair profit to the manufacturer the energy and enterprise of american business men and capitalists the effectiveness of american labor and the ingenuity of american inventors under the impulse of competition behind the tariff wall would reduce the cost of production and that with the reduction of the cost of production the tariff rate would become unnecessarily high and ought to be reduced normal operation of the tariff this was the normal operation of the tariff as claimed by the de fenders of the protective system not in every case but as a general rule â€” that of course a revision of the tariff could not be perfect must ha^e defects and inconsistencies but in so far as his influence went when called upon to act in connection with legislation it would be thrown in the direction of performing the promises of the party as he understood them and that if iron ore and oil and coal and hides did not need protection and the conditions were such as to enable the ore producers and the oil producers and the coal producers and the pro ducers of hides to compete successfully without reduction of wages with the producers from abroad then they did not need a duty and their articles should go on the free list it was a question of fact which he hoped to make up his mind with respect to oa such evidence as was available to him in order to carry out what he understood to he the promises of the party to the whole people duty to urge downward revision he said he felt that his position as the titular head of the re publican party and as president with the whole people as his constit uency gave him a somewhat broader point of view than that of a sin gle member of congress in respect to articles produced in his district he felt strongly the call of the country lor a downward revision within the limitations of the protective principle and he hoped to be able to respond to that call as he heard it as well in the interests of the party as of the country pastor's life is hell says kemp new york

states trade sees great opportunity declares president's ideas will be followed orient as world's market place new york july 16 charles r crane of Chicago the newly selected minister to china who is staying at the century club here issued a formal statement to-night re garding his acceptance of the post which he says he regards as of exceptional im portance because of tlie present commercial opportunities in the far east one of the principal aims of my incum bency says mr crane will be the aid ing of american enterprise to secure and maintain an adequate foothold in a country which promises to be the richest market of the world my reasons for accepting the tekin post are not the result of hasty action but spring from ideas and opinions which have been formulating for years vithout meaning to detract from other diplomatic positions i have long considered the pekin post of unusual perhaps predominating importance to our nation i may say that highly complimented as i would be hy any opportunity to serve my country in an honorable capacity i would not have accepted any other position in dhe govern ment indeed i njjiuld have hesitated to ac cept this position uuder different circum stances but that fact that president Taft is personally familiar with the issues of the eastern question and that this knowl edge probably will assure a progressive and enlightened american policy in china and further that the representatives of our government thtre will have sympathetic co operation at washington makes me will ing to undertake a responsibility which otherwise might seem too onerous secre tary knox's attitude toward china as al ready indicated by his energy iu promoting american interests there also encourages me in sympathy with chinese reform in my oplniou china is now the focus of the world's greatest international prob lem nnd x r'eg'ard the interest of the united states iu this problem as fundamental i can think of no foreign nation in whose progress prosperity and security the united states has greater interest i have a strong sympathy with china's efforts at reform which now seem assured of eventual success the united states should and will aid china in her aspira tions to fake her proper place among mod ern nations and it will be my effort to carry out the policy as admirably stated in president taft's speech at shanghai in 1907 when he outlined the relation of our nation to the open door doctrine in my opinion while an american policy in china must he fouoded ns presi dent Taft then stated upon the broad platform of real international equity and mutual self-respect and will turn upon } political issues it's greater interest to most araericaus lies in the commercial oppor tunity which trade with china presents the great industrial expansion upon which china is iust entering opens tin immense held for american enterprise and our government should aid in securing and maintaining a foothold there if during my incumbency at tekln 1 can contribute to improving the relations of america and china nnd to cementing the community of interests which binds the two nations together 1 shall feel sat isfied eulogy

concerned the bond of williaa t new man the holder of a contract for wrecking the old city hall it was charged that mcgillen accepted 900 in premiums on bonds amounting to jj323.975 from newman to secure the performance of this contract but that no part of the premium was turned over to the surety company and that the boud does uot appear on the com pany's auntt-.l statement issued in decem ber

that they showed at least lax inethodsmn the part of the company â„¢ it was declared by attorney hinckley that these proceedings would be justified because of mcgillen's failure to notify the home

charged with taking possession of the offices in the borland block changing the combination on the safe and changing the lock on the door thus preventing his part ners front entering the offices mcgillen however strenuously denied all of the charges the receivership was brought about after i had agreed to it and after the surety company had investigated all of these charges and made ine its sole agent for Illinois said mcgillen last evening the whole trouble is that these men arc seeking revenge a peculiar feature of their charges is that they accuse themselves huncko as bookkeeper was the man who should have reported ou all bonds to the company and transferred the premiums when he charges that this was not done he accuses himself alone however even his asser tions iu this respect
